5-methoxypsoralen and Weight Gain

5-methoxypsoralen has been researched along with Weight Gain in 2 studies

5-Methoxypsoralen: A linear furanocoumarin that has phototoxic and anti-inflammatory properties, with effects similar to METHOXSALEN. It is used in PUVA THERAPY for the treatment of PSORIASIS.
5-methoxypsoralen : A 5-methoxyfurocoumarin that is psoralen substituted by a methoxy group at position 5.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

"Weight gain was significantly less in males fed either the combined or 1000 ppm diets, while only the combined diet induced a significant weight reduction in females compared with the control diet."1.31Dietary psoralens induce hepatotoxicity in C57 mice.
